Dark Anemone, Red Heels - Best of 2016 Nailpolish Stories

You will never find me on a Best Dressed list.

You might find me on a Best Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Eater list.

But you can find me over at Nailpolish Stories in their Best of 2016 issue!

“Best of 2016” stories were selected for their use of unique language, breadth of story in so few words, emotional impact, and the complex and original relationship of the titles to their stories."

I hope you enjoy reading my two pieces, "Dark Anemone" and "Red Heels." I am thrilled to be in such great company, including that of blogging buddy, Tyrean Martinson.
